EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous historic event in the heart of Greater London. The scene showcases the Coronation Dinner for the Poor of London, held to commemorate King Edward VII's delayed coronation in August 1902. As you gaze upon this image, you are transported back in time to witness the joyous celebration that unfolded on Putney Bridge. The photograph depicts a bustling street scene filled with exuberant crowds, eagerly celebrating this patriotic occasion. Pedestrians line the sidewalks, their eyes fixed on horse-drawn carriages passing by adorned with flags and banners. The atmosphere is electric as people from all walks of life come together to honor their beloved king. Intriguingly, a temporary arch has been erected across Putney Bridge Approach, serving as a symbolic gateway into this grand festivity. This architectural marvel adds an air of elegance and grandeur to an already vibrant scene. As your eyes wander through the crowd, you can't help but notice the fashion and costumes of early 1900s Londoners. Their attire reflects both tradition and modernity - men donning top hats and tailcoats while women showcase elaborate dresses adorned with lace and feathers. This remarkable print from Historic England Archive not only captures a significant moment in British history but also serves as a testament to unity and national pride during times of celebration.
